Description
The Evolution PC Pump Gas Separator is a
continuous flow downhole gas separator for
use with progressing cavity pumps.

The PC Pump Gas Separator uses centrifugal
forces to separate the gas from produced
liquids, before they enter the pump.

Using the tool allows gas-free production
fluids to be carried into the pump station
while the separated gases are forced to
migrate up the annulus.

Eliminating the associated gases before
entering the pump has the following
advantages:

Pump efficiency and pump rate will be
increased.
Elimination of CO2 and H2S gasses which
can cause premature degradation of the
stator elastomer.

There are two configurations of the PC Pump
Gas Separator:

Heavy oil configuration for oil less than
24API.
Light oil configurations for oil greater than
24 API.

The PC Pump Gas Separator may be run into
any progressing cavity well where it is
suspect gas content is affecting the
production performance. There are four main
reasons why you would want to install a Gas
Separator in your well.

1. The efficiency of your P.C. Pump is low. This
can be caused by significant gas content in
the fluids you are lifting.
2. Your P.C. Pumps working life is short. High
gas content can cause the stator to burn
up and break apart due to friction without
lubrication as the rotator turns inside it.
3. Your pump elastomer experiences
blistering when pulled from the hole. Over
time gas becomes absorbed under
pressure into the elastomer. Upon pulling
the pump, the gas will want to escape to
the lower pressure. This will cause the
elastomer of your pump to blister.
4. You have torqueing problems with your
pump due to sand content. As the fluids
and sand are pulled through the Gas
Separator the centrifugal forces they
experience combine them into a slurry
which is easily producible by the PC Pump.


Operation
Running
1. The PC Pump Gas Separator must
be installed in the string below the
pump.
2. When the pump is landed in the
well, the P.C. should be above the
perforations.
3. If it is desired or necessary for the
fluid intake to be below the
perforations, tubing may be ran
below the PC Pump Gas Separator.

Repair and Servicing
1. Follow in reverse the steps from the
assembly procedures.
2. Clean all the parts in a solvent
cleaner tank and use the sand
blasting machine. This will ensure
that the parts are completely clean
and free of cracks or sand, and all
the threads are in the best shape.
Check if any of the parts are
corroded and dont use them if
they are.
3. Follow the assembly procedure
steps and use new screws when
doing reassembly.





Function of the PC Pump Gas Separator

The P.C. Pump Gas Separator functions by forcing the fluids (which contain gases) to follow
through it before reaching the pump. As the fluids first enter the Gas Separator they must
flow through intake ports which divide the flow and begin gas separation. The fluid then
moves through the auger chamber, which subjects the fluid to centrifugal force. The
principles of centrifugal force maintain that the more dense materials (e.g. water and oil)
will be forced to the outside of the chamber while the gas will remain close to the middle.
As the fluids reach the top of the auger chamber liquid is removed via outlet ports (around
the perimeter of the top sub) which lead to the pump itself. As the separated gas reaches
the top of the auger chamber it flows along a tapered end which guides it to an outlet port
in the center of the top sub. This central outlet port then vents the gas into the annulus,
where it may then migrate up the casing.
